Tomatoes!

Time for another Mosaic Monday with Mary from The Little Red House! Click on the link to check out all the others who are joining Mary this week!

It's tomato season! I'm getting there. My tomatoes are starting to look pretty good. Still supplementing with some really nice teeny, tiny heirlooms from Trader Joe's, but I'm on my way! Brilliant that I am, I forget which these are, I think they are the Black Krim, I have the pots labeled, it's just from outdoors to indoors, but my little pea brain forgot.

These are the sungolds!

Tomato Season. So I couldn't resist and bought two containers of the small heirlooms. Really sweet tomatoes. I had help deciding on what to do with them, general consensus from San and Woodie were Sherry Cherries. Probably would have worked out a little better if the pan didn't warp and the juices collected in the corner, but still an awesome recipe to add the sherry to roasted tomatoes! I forgot to add the onions. Like that comes as a surprise. and I didn't add the sugar. The tomatoes were really sweet. and I didn't read the part about on top of the stove. Welcome to my world of never ever paying attention. Works out well sometimes!

These are the tomatoes from Trader Joe's. All except two little sungolds that were ready so I picked them and threw them in!

Slice a fresh baguette and spoon some tomatoes on. Simple, but it doesn't get any better. Use the end piece to soak up the pan juices!

They look beautiful, Dishes, but I have a feeling Miss Picky won't care for them. Good for you for listening to Woodie and San :) That's a great idea to serve them on bread, I always just use them as a small side on the plate, just a couple of tomatoes alongside meat or fish. I love your idea.

What a beautiful (and appetite inducing) mosaic! My tomatoes are also so far behind this year and I am just waiting to roast them and serve something similar. Lucky you having good ones available at TJ's!

Someone dear sent me one of those great knives and I love it! You are right they are the best!

Your crop is doing so much better than mine!Maybe they know I don't like them! :)I love the look of fresh tomatoes in a dish, and I always serve them..to others..I wonder if I could be related to Miss Picky!And I love my knife too! Thanks!

Oh, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of fresh local tomatoes here. After all, New Jersey is known for it's tomatoes! That recipe looks scrumptious!!! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful images at Mosaic Monday. :)

My toamtoes are just beginning to turn red in my garden so I'm collecting new tomato recipes to try. I'll save this one and the one for the yellow grape tomatoes! Thanks! I'm a "foodie" so I loved your blog!

About Me

I love to cook. Sometimes. I love takeout. More than sometimes! I used to think there's "no thyme to cook," and that the smoke alarm was my timer, but now "there's always thyme to cook" and sometimes even bake!
